So I've really been enjoying all of the films we've been watching in class this week, mostly because for the most part they have been animations. Not only animations, but from what I can tell most of them have been even hand drawn. That takes real skill. The ones I enjoyed the most was Circuit Marine and Colorforms.
Colorforms was cute and sweet...but at the same time it crawled under my skin because I hate being messy. I'm okay with stuff on my face, like the dust for the Pagwa festival...but the paint everywhere and the toothpaste made me squirm. At least it wasn't mud. In the end, though, I know it was more than just the messiness...it was the girl's creativity that was being repressed. It reminded me of the other film we watched today, Une Artiste. Both of them were girls who were being creative, one through music and one through being...messy.
Circuit Marine was like, completely full of different feels. It was funny and then it was completely heartbreaking and shocking. My favorite part was the pirate captain when everyone was eating his parrot...he looked down at his parrot leg, took a bite, and then couldn't do it anymore. It was so sad!! Am I the only person who gets sad over stuff like that?
Nope. I get really sad over stuff like that too. ^^; No idea why...it's a little awkward, but you're defiantly not alone.
